Drug testing welfare recipients: Discuss

[kılıç_mehmet]

I've been watched as I peed in a cup to keep a crappy job that paid less than those who collected benfits got. Again if someone who works their ass off to pay taxes all pee in cups then so too should the people who spend that money.

Nobody should be peeing in cups. It's just as wrong that you have to do it as it is anybody else.

That maybe true if you flip burgers or clean toilets, but for any job requiring any higher brain functions, stoner mistakes cost employers money.

If you're stoned at work, you deserve to get fired. If you get stoned at home, on your own time, and it doesn't affect your performance or attendance, it is nobody's business but yours. I've smoked pot for years, and it has never had the slightest negative effect on my ability to work hard and accurately.

Well, I think that employers do have the right to what kind of a person they want to hire. I personally would not want to hire anyone that uses drugs. Is that not my right? For that purpose, if I require that employers take a drug test, what evil is there?
